belkin wireless router installation manual

by admin on February 6, 2010

I am trying to set up a Belkin wireless G router and I need help?

I have the “easy installation disk in and I am following the steps, I am at a page that says: Please select a security level: Please check with your wireless adapters user manual to verify that it supports WEP or WPA, That is jibberish to me!
Then i have the option of choosing WEP or WPA or No security! What does this mean. If it helps I have a HP laptop windows xp professional?

it is just a way to secure your network. if you choose one of those, it is just a type of encryption that will take all your files and data and encrypt so hackers can’t view it with out the key. i would choose wep, but again you have to see what your router supports. it should say in your manual. look under security or encryption to find it. you can choose no security, but then you are opening yourself up to other people having access to your wireless router if they are in range.
